American Doughnut Kitchen

I'd heard this was a must-try doughnut in Melbourne, so as soon as I spotted it I joined the queue.
Fortunately the line wasn't long and I was able to order and pick it up quickly.

It's a truck with an open kitchen setup, so you can watch the doughnuts being made right in front of you.
Watching them fry up, get filled with jam, and get dusted with powdered sugar was quite entertaining while waiting.

I ordered the classic — a simple doughnut filled with strawberry jam.
Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet — quite plain and subtle in flavor.

It made me wonder how locals would react if they tried Korean doughnuts.

It's been a Melbourne icon since 1950 — a whopping 75-year history.
The third generation of the founding family is reportedly still running it today.
